V=(92x)2xV=(92x)2x
V=81x36x2+4x3V=81x36x2+4x3
dVdx=8172x+12x2=0dVdx=8172x+12x2=0
4x224x+27=04x224x+27=0

Using quadratic formula


a=4;b=24;c=27a=4;b=24;c=27
x=bb24ac2ax=bb24ac2a
x=(24)(24)24(4)(27)2(4)x=(24)(24)24(4)(27)2(4)
x=24128x=24128
x=4.5 and 1.5x=4.5 and 1.5

Use x = 1.5 inches


Maximum volume:
V=[92(1.5)]2(1.5)V=[92(1.5)]2(1.5)
V=54 in2V=54 in2 answer

Problem 17
Find the depth of the largest box that can be made by cutting equal squares of side x out
of the corners of a piece of cardboard of dimensions 6a, 6b, (b a), and then turning up
the sides. To select that value of x which yields a maximum volume, show that
(a+b+a2ab+b2)3b(a+b+a2ab+b2)3b

x=(a+b)+a2ab+b2x=(a+b)+a2ab+b2 and
x=(a+b)a2ab+b2x=(a+b)a2ab+b2

If a = b:

From
x=(a+b)+a2ab+b2x=(a+b)+a2ab+b2
x=(b+b)+b2b2+b2x=(b+b)+b2b2+b2
x=3bx=3b (x is equal to of 6b - meaningless)
From
x=(a+b)a2ab+b2x=(a+b)a2ab+b2
x=(b+b)b2b2+b2x=(b+b)b2b2+b2
x=bx=b okay

Use x=a+ba2ab+b2x=a+ba2ab+b2 answer
